In the middle of the night, Catherine felt uncomfortable and found there were many rashes.

Catherine would have thought it was not a big deal, so she got up, drank some water, and then went to sleep. However, when Catherine got up, Cecil screamed with astonishment.

​​

Ethel and Anna also came over. When they saw that there were spots on Catherine's face, they were scared.

Ethel immediately asked for the day off. With the permission of the counselor, Ethel sent Catherine to the hospital.

Since Catherine looked seriously ill, Ethel decided to call Sean.

"Cathy, are you allergic? What's wrong with you?"

Just one night, Catherine got a lot of rashes. Everyone was scared.

"Few things I am allergic to," said Catherine.

Catherine frowned, recalling what she had eaten these days. She was confused because she wanted to keep healthy and wouldn't eat anything bad.

Catherine thought to herself, "Oh, the only thing I am probably allergic to is apricot pollen, but how could it be? It is not the spring, so it is, of course, that there is no pollen."

Catherine was seriously allergic. Her face, legs, arms, and back were full of spots.

The doctor diagnosed the illness as Eczema and gave her some medicines and a drip.

When Sean arrived in the hospital, he saw Ethel was standing beside Catherine and only half of the medicine left.

"Cathy."

"You are here," said Catherine.

Since Sean hurried to come here when he received the call, he was just a little short of breath.

Sean looked at Catherine up and down. When he saw her spots, he became serious, and his eyes narrowed.

When Ethel saw Sean, she immediately gave the seat to Sean. She kept her eyes on Sean for a while and thought to herself, "What a handsome man!"

"Um… Since he is here, I should go back now. Here is your medicine."

"Ethel, please take a few days off for me. I think I will recover a few days later."

It was true that Catherine was full of rashes. People were scared to see her.

Sean frowned and took off her mask.

Catherine had no time to stop him. She had to cover her face with both hands.

"Don't touch your face."

Sean was afraid that the bacteria in her hands would make her face worse.

"I look ugly," said Catherine.

When Catherine looked at the mirror, she was terrified too.

She thought to herself, "Ethel must be frightened when she saw my face in the morning."

"What did the doctor tell you?" Sean asked.

"The doctor just said I was allergic, which led to eczema."

Compared with skin allergies, Eczema is a kind of more serious illness. It hurts and itches as if millions of insects were biting her skin because of the rash.

"Don't scratch!"

"It itches."

Catherine has fair and soft face skin, but now there were full of rashes on her both cheeks and chin. It looked red and scared, as if she were disfigured.

Catherine didn't want to tell Sean, but she knew it was hard to keep it secret. Besides, tomorrow was Friday, and Drew would come to pick her back to Sean's Mansion, so she had to tell the truth. Otherwise, Sean must be angry when he knew it.

"You can't scratch it even if it itches," said Sean.

Sean found Catherine also had rashes on her arms.

Sean assumed that there were full of rashes on her body. When he thought about it, he frowned hard and thought to himself, "Why does she get rash?"

"Where is the medicine?" asked Sean.

Catherine immediately handed a bag to Sean.

Sean opened it and looked at the instructions on the box of the medicine. He took a cotton swab and applied ointment to the rash.

Catherine felt uncomfortable and squeezed her fist tight. She was afraid that she would be out of control.

The ointment was cool, alleviating her pains.

Catherine sighed gently.

"I felt uncomfortable last night. When I got up in the morning, my roommates were shocked and sent me to the hospital. And then, I knew I got Eczema. It is no wonder that I felt uncomfortable."

"Which places do you have a rash except for your face?"

"Arms, legs, and my back."

Catherine thought she was ugly, so she immediately wore the mask.

"As soon as you receive the call, you hurried to come here?"

Sean touched her head and answered, "You are the most important to me."

Catherine was touched and dropped tears.

She lowered her head, looking at her toe cap.

Telling from Sean's words and behaviors, Catherine was always touched. She believed that she was the most important to Sean.

Although Sean had a house near the university, it was not convenient to look after Catherine.

Therefore, when Catherine finished having an intravenous drip, Sean hugged her to the car and then drove back home.

"I should sleep in the guest room. I have two reasons. Firstly, I was afraid that the disease is contagious. Secondly, the bedroom must be dirty because of me."

Actually, Catherine was worried that Sean must be frightened when he saw her at midnight.

However, Sean took Catherine to the bedroom at last.

As Catherine sat on the bed, Sean started to take off her clothes and pressed Catherine's hands, "Stop! Let me check."

"No!"

"Be a good boy."

"No!"

Sean said with a smile, "I saw your whole body."

Catherine was confused and thought to herself, "Did he see my bare body? Really? I always wear pajamas when I sleep. We haven't had sex before. How could he see my body?"

"It is not hard for me. When you go to sleep, I can see your body," added Sean.

"Asshole!"

Catherine couldn't stop him.

Sean saw her back now. There were small rashes on her fair skin.

Sean also saw rashes on his legs and arms, but most of the rashes concentrated on her back.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked coldly.

"Allergy."

"Why?"

"It doesn't matter with food. I didn't eat something that I am allergic to. I am confused about it too. In my memories, I was allergic when I was eight."

Sean knew that before. He knew everything about Catherine, from her birth to now.

Sean knew Catherine was allergic to apricot pollen, so there was no apricot in his mansion, and it was not allowed to plant near the mansion.

"There is no apricot at Kings College.

"Yes, you are right."

Catherine started to think. After a while, she answered, "You know I am allergic to apricots?"

"I know everything about you," said Sean.

"Umm... who told you?"

"It is not hard for me to know that," said Sean.

Catherine knew Sean didn't want to make a further explanation.

Sean was careful and gentle though he was unhappy to see the rash on Catherine's skin.

"Does this hurt?"

"Good. It is cool."

Catherine felt a little embarrassed. She was afraid that Sean desired her, but it seemed that Sean only focused on her rash and applied medicine to her skin very carefully.

"Do I look ugly?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Full of rashes on my face and body."

Catherine was worried that some scars would be left.

"I am afraid to look at the mirror now," said Catherine.

She thought to herself, "Doesn't he feel sick when he sees the rash on my skin?"

Sean immediately held Catherine in his arms. While he was applying the medicine to the skin, he said to Catherine, "I don't care whether you are ugly. You are mine."
